Srinagar: Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam on Wednesday sought action against the person who leaked his pre-recorded video announcement regarding the sighting of the moon for Eid.
Islam was recording a video for Doordarshan “with both positive and negative announcements” on the sighting of the moon when someone recorded the statement and leaked it on social media.
Pertinently, the broadcaster keeps both recordings and waits for the assent of the Mufti for the relevant announcement on a specific day.
Islam wrote to the in-charge of Cybercrime in Srinagar to find out the culprit.
“The undersigned today was busy with Doordarshan Kendra in connection with pre-recording positive/negative announcements regarding sighting of crescent. Some miscreant present in the office used his cellphone and recorded the statement in order to create confusion among the general public,” he said in his complaint.
“It is requested to kindly identify the person and take appropriate action against such a person for breach of trust and creating a law and order problem,” he said in his written complaint to the police.
